Frequently Asked Questions
Erica Synths sources authentic, original K140UD12 chips whenever possible, although availability can impact production runs. They are not modern clones.
The Polivoks VCF's resonance is much more chaotic and self-oscillating than a Moog filter; it's designed for extreme textures, not smooth, musical sweeps.
While it excels at aggressive sounds, you *can* use it subtly, but its character is inherently more pronounced than a gentler lowpass filter.
